ENGLAND.
A POLITICAL BREEZE.
London, January 24.—The action of
the Cork authorities in dissolving the
board of guardians, in consequence of
tne passage of a resolution by that body
expressing full confidence in Mr. Par-nell,
has raised a breeze which bids fair
to assume the magnitude and distinctive
force of a hurricane. The ostensible
reason for the dissolution of the board
was its expression of opinion on affairs
of a; political character, but the real
reason was that the politics treated of
was not of the right stripe. To say that
the affair has aroused a feeling of indig-nation,
is to put it very mildly, and it
will be some time before the last is heard
of it. The hoard (numbered several
Tories and Unionists among its members,
and it will be remembered that not only
were, they present when the offending
resolution was passed, but that it re-ceived
the affirmative votes of all those
in attendance, despite the turbulent con-duct
Of Dr. Tanner, which might have
been expected to influence votes against
T11K PORTUGUESE QUESTION.
London, January 24.—Gradually it is
dawning upon the Portuguese govern-ment
and through it upon the populace
that i continuance of the anti-English
demonstrations which have disgraced
Lisbon and other cities and towns in the
kingdom aie not only rendering Portugal
a laughing stock for Europe, but are
really tending towards forcing England
into an attitude of hostility, the grounds
of which are much stronger than those
upon which Lord Salisbury’s ultimatum
was based.
THE PORTUGUESE MINISTER.
LiJndon, January 24.—A dispatch from
Lisbpn states that the announcement
that Marquis de Frcalho would be ap-pointed
Portuguese minister to Great
Britain was incorrect. Senor Barjona
de Treitas will be appointed to that post.
ALARM OF FIRE AT SEA.
London, January 24.—The British
steamer Sardiana from Portland January
9 arrived at Liverpool last night. She
reports heavy weather on January 1(5,
when an alarm of fire was given, caused
by the bursting of a steam gauge. In
the meantime the funnel was smashed
and the fire was smothered by water
pouring down on it. Two men were
killed and the third so badly injured
that he soon died. Three other men
were badly injured. It was impossible
to replace the funnel for twenty-four
hours and in the meantime the steamer
drafted and the storm at the same time
increasing in severity. The killed were
buried at sea when the storm abated.
All the Sardiana’s life boats were
smashed by heavy seas.
DOCK MEN ON A STRIKE.
London, January 24.—Two hundred
dock laborers employed in discharging
the British steamer Bengore at Liver-pool
from Brunswick, stopped work to-day

Ulster Steamship company, to which
the Bengore belongs would
not concede to the demands of the
laborers.

j in which England was bitterly assailed

dispute with Portugal, and the French
j and Spanish lauded for their sympathy
with the Portuguese. A number of sub-scriptions
were made to the fund by per-sons
present at the meeting.

B E LLIG E It E NT BOUL ^N GISTS.
Paris, January 24.—General Bon-langer
has sent a telegram to M. Paul
Derculde and his colleagues in the cham-ber
of deputies who led the recent re-volt
in that body, when Jeffrain at-tempted
to speak congratulating them
upon showing themselyes to be the real
defenders of universal suffrage. M.
Martineau, member of the chamber of

and spit upon and compelled to sign a
resignation of his seat in the chamber.

THE BORDER BELLE.
The Great Boom Still Booms for Plucky
Laredo.
Laredo, January 24.—[Special.]—As
an indication of the stability of rentes-tate
values in Laredo a woolen company
from Monticello, Ind., who have made
arrangements to establish a first-class
woolen mill in Laredo and have the
same in operation by the 1st of next
June, consummated a sale to-day to a
few citizens of lands for $10,000 in cash
the unimproved blocks as yet unsettled
in the northeastern suburbs of the city,
to be donated to the wool company by
the city as an inducement to erect their
factory in Laredo. When it is consid-ered
that the city has set aside 100
blocks in the same locality to be donated
to the encouragement of manufacturing
enterprises, it will explain the claim
that Laredo makes of becoming the
largest manufacturing city in the state in
the near future.
A carload of machinery has just been
shipped from Houston to the Laredo
Cotton Gin and Grist Mill company,
who have just finished a large, two-story
brick building for their plant.
This fact is significant as showing the
wonderful development of the rich
country around Laredo, which but a few
years ago, before the advent of railroads
in the city, was an unsettled frontier.
The large brick building, 150x50 feet,
two stories high, being erected for an
iron and brass foundry and machine
shops is nearly completed and it is ex-pected
that the machinery will be in po-sition
by the middle of February.
The jury in the trial of Fete Ham-mond,
for the murder of J. W. Mul-doney
last August, vindicated the law
to-day and emphasized the fact that this
people will not tolerate crime by bring-ing
in a verdict of guilty and assessing
the punishment at confinement in the
penitentiary for life.
The demand for residence sites on
wliat is called the Beautiful Heights is
unprecedented and the rapidity with
which beautiful and costly residences
are going up in that vicinity, is a mar-vel
to all.
Two Kansas Officials Resign.
Kansas City, January 24.—A special
to the Star from Topeka, Kas., says:
James W. Hamilton handed his resigna-tion
as state treasurer to Governor
Humphrey to-day, to take effect on the
appointment and qualification of his sue-cessor
who will be named within the next
ten days.The resignation of J. B. Cogston
as supreme court commissioner was ac*
eepted by Governor Humobrey to-day.
Paul i*icBride Indicted.
St. Loris, January 24.—The grand
jury to-day returned an indictment for
murder in the first degree against Faul
McBride,son of the well-known attorney,
James J. McBride. On the evening of
November 15th, 1889, young McBride
shot and killed Frank Loftus, an ex-fire-man
in the city’s employ. A bitter fight
has beeD made in the case, McBride’s
father haunting the courts in an effort
to compromise the matter, while Loftus’
friends among the firemen raised a fund
to prosecute the case.

The Galveston Prisoners.
Galveston, January 24.—Calvin
Blakely, one of the Jaybirds arrested
and held for carrying concealed deadly
weapons in connection with the Gibson-
Terry homicide, and released yesterday
on a bond of $300, returned this evening
and surrendered himself to the sheriff .
It seems that after Blakely left for home
yesterday he was indicted for assault
with intent to murder. Hearing of it
he at once returned and gave himself
up. The grand jury also found indict-ment
against Judge "j. W. Parker for car-rying
concealed deadly weapons. The
parties so far indicted for complicity in
the tragedy of last Wednesday are Volvey
Gibson, Wm. Little, Wm. Andrus, Cal-vin
Blakely, Jas. Mitchell, Dan Ragsdale
and Wm. McFarland. James Mitchell
and Dan Ragsdale have now three in-dictments
against them for assault to
murder and for carrying concealed
deadly weapons. It is believed that
when the excitement attendant unon
the killing has subsided applications for
bond through habeas corpus will be
made by the prisoners.
